Author and GVSU writing professor,
Catherine Frerichs, will read from her newly published book, Desires of the Heart:
A Daughter Remembers Her Missionary Parents. Frerichs’s parents were missionaries in Papua New
Guinea from 1937-1975. She uses their letters and other research to understand why they followed a God
of love even though that meant sacrificing their children’s wellbeing. Questions and conversation
will follow on gender roles, vocation, religion, and encountering the “other.”
